Gaining confidence in the kitchen, one messy pan at a time

A Very Moldy Lesson Learned

Tonight I made Southwestern Grilled Steak with Mixed Vegetables and a Side Salad.

I marinated the steaks overnight with a dry rub mixture that I made. It was delicious, although I think next time I’ll ease up on the chili powder.

This recipe was fairly straight forward so I don’t really feel that there was anything to learn other than adding flank steak to my repertoire.

However, whilst searching for the ranch dressing in my refrigerator, I found (at the very least) two week old turkey burgers in a plastic container. For anyone who knows me, mold is something that makes me hurl. I gag just thinking about it.

Lesson learned: Clean your refrigerator out regularly. By “regularly” I mean “daily” as to avoid any food that accidentally gets pushed to the back of the refrigerator, only to be found weeks later next to the ranch dressing.
